A new prisoner is placed in his cell. Before long it is time for “lights out” and the cellblock becomes dark and nearly silent.
Eventually a voice from the darkness cries out: “Twenty-two!” and everyone breaks out into raucous laughter. A while later another voice calls out “Forty-one!” and again the entire cellblock hoots and roars.
The new prisoner asks the guy in the next cell: “What’s going on?”
The guy says: “We’ve been here so long, we all know each other’s jokes. So we assigned numbers to them, and when we want to tell a joke we just use the number.”
The new prisoner calls out “Ninety-eight” and sets off uproarious laughter, much more than the other numbers. So he asks the guy in the next cell why that was.
Through barely-controlled mirth, he replies, “Nobody had heard that one before.”

She turns to her husband and says, “Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself.”
He thinks about it for a bit and then says in a soft voice, “Well…there’s nothing wrong with your eyesight.”
